Iran threatens to cut off electricity to the entire region in response to Trump's threats.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, responded on his X account to U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to cut off Iran's electricity supplies by threatening "a total blackout of electricity in the region."

He wrote, "If they do that, it will take no more than half an hour for a total power outage to spread across the entire region.

The darkness will become a suitable opportunity to track down the fleeing American servicemen in the region and hunt them."

In a previous post Larijani described Trump's remarks threatening to attack Iran "with a force 20 times greater" as "hollow," adding, "One greater than you has failed... so beware that you are the ones who disappear."

Trump asserted in press remarks that U.S. forces are capable of cutting off electricity supplies to Iran "within an hour," which would leave the country "facing a reconstruction process that could take an entire generation."

He also wrote on his Truth Social account: "If Iran stops the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, it will receive a strike 20 times stronger than what it has received so far."

The article notes these statements are consistent with remarks by Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen, who said Israel "might bomb oil refineries and power plants in Iran, and there are a number of other targets."

Since February 28, Israel and the United States have been carrying out attacks on Iran that have killed hundreds of people, including the former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and security officials.

Tehran has responded by launching missiles and drones toward Israel and what it describes as "American interests" in the region, causing deaths and injuries and damage to civilian property.

The article says targeted Arab states have condemned these attacks and called for an end to them.

The article reports strong threats and retaliatory actions on multiple sides but does not provide independent verification of the technical feasibility or the claimed timelines for cutting power, nor does it offer evidence to substantiate the casualty figures within this text.

As presented, the competing claims — Trump's capability assertions, Larijani's blackout threat, and the reported attacks and deaths — are stated by the actors and the article without third‑party confirmation.
